Re: This Should Piss Off EVERYONE
All of this is being driven by the media and mostly celebrities. Watch almost any rap video or current hip hop artist and almost every one of them is sending a loud message to blacks.........kill whitey.
If that had been me, I'd be in jail right now with the media planting seeds of "was his this shooting racially motivated?". I've been a federal agent for 10 years now and in the Army for 11 years before this. I do not go ANYWHERE without a firearm. I will not allow anyone around me, or myself, to be a victim.
Just so everyone here knows this. If you're ever in a shooting, or situation like this, here's the 3 things that you must be able to articulate to justify using deadly force.
1. The threat must have the means of causing loss of life, limb, or eyesight to you or a 3rd party. The "Means" doesn't necessarily equal a gun, knife, axe, stick, ice pick or any other object. It can simply be their size, strength, fighting ability, influence of certain drugs (I've been in scuffles with 140 lb little guys that are either coke'd up or on meth........scary). The Means can also simply be that you are outnumbered.....like in this case, or you no longer have the stamina/strength to continue fight for your life.
2. The threat must have the opportunity to cause loss of life, limb, or eyesight. That's fairly simple.......example - if a person standing on one side of a fence and you're on the other side and he threatens you with a knife, and you shoot him........you're going to prison......there was an obstacle/barrier between you and him. Now, "opportunity" can be many different things, so don't get tunnel vision on my example.
3. The threat must display the intent to cause loss of life, limb, or eyesight. Basically, a verbal threat, a text, any kind of threat, or........intent can also be that you are pleading for them to stop beating you, but they continue with their actions. This covers non verbal communications as well.
In any case, regardless of how well you fight, shoot, experience, or whatever............afterwards, when you're arrested and questioned (because you will be, but at least you're alive) make damn sure you drive home the FACT that......I FEARED FOR MY LIFE, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!!!!!
If you're like me and you carry a firearm and you're not afraid to use, I recommend asking a lawyer to explain all of the above stuff to you. I have a very good understanding of it, but I'm not always capable of explaining it just right.
ass. Unfortunately for me, that's the weekend of the Hardline Ride. :'(
